WarningThis template is used on approximately 6,400 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.
As of February 11, 2022, satellite, cable and IPTV channel number fields have been removed. Online fields will be removed soon (to allow for appropriate live stream links to be saved). Terrestrial fields will remain. See the RfC at Template talk:Infobox television channel#RfC for removal of "Availability" section.
This template was redesigned in September 2020. Many parameter names have changed.
CSSThis template uses TemplateStyles:

{{Infobox television channel}} can be used to provide at-a-glance comparative information on a television channel.

Parameters

Calculating "image_upright"

The |image_upright= parameter, and |image2_upright= and |logo_upright= where applicable, are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.

Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.

  • 170pxupright=0.75
  • 180pxupright=0.8
  • 190pxupright=0.85
  • 200pxupright=0.9
  • 210pxupright=0.95
  • 220pxupright=1
  • 230pxupright=1.05
  • 240pxupright=1.1
  • 250pxupright=1.15
  • 260pxupright=1.2
  • 270pxupright=1.23
  • 280pxupright=1.25
  • 290pxupright=1.3
  • 300pxupright=1.35
